...athletic team has been training at the Yale Field, and at present it is possible to name with a fair degree of accuracy the men who will represent Yale at the Inter-Collegiate meeting. The track which last year was at times too soft to run on, has been gotten into excellent condition and now ranks among the fastest of college tracks...
...several years we have gotten much pleasure and instruction from lectures in Political Economy, History, and Philosophy, given under the auspices of various societies.

It is to be hoped that '89 will not remain in the background, but that some of her good men will not be slow in coming forward and attempting to gain positions in the team which will necessarily need them before long...
